The truck is not in that bad of shape for being 70 years old. I'm 73 and I've had a lot more repairs than this truck needs. I'm really enjoying watching you turn this into a real hauler. Hammer away!!!

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Haha. Thanks mate :D

[@bigmac60]

I’m constantly amazed at how bad the cab looks and how good it ends up. Well done Jeff

[@miketucker7466]

I love rust repair - it can be utterly soul destroying… but once it’s done it’s so rewarding!

[@Papa-Bogey]

“The last 20% takes 80% of the time.”

That is definitely true for the Alfarrari, but for the Frankenhauler I have only just started and it is taking ages :D

The Pareto Principle…(kinda)

[@tomthumb4767]

Your doing a great job replacing the bad and putting it back together like it's supposed to be. Great fabrication skills . Two Thumbs up .

[@rona1144]

Cool 1954 plate and Mrs Jeff history was interesting

[@joeford4016]

Mrs. Jeff is always interesting.

[@alman6581]

What a mission Jeff. But I enjoyed it ;-) Nice to see some of Chad's cut to form tricks being used. They work for me too, when I don't have the right tools in the first place - ugh.

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Chads?

[@alman6581]

@HomeBuiltByJeff yeah Bad Chad on YT. He did a series doing a video a day for a month, converting an old sedan into a truck. He doesn't form anything traditionally only via cut n weld. Supreme skills

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

@@alman6581 I will take your word for it.

[@andrewmurton8379]

Really impressive to see the mess of rusty pillar base and floor turn back into something! Nice work.

[@peterpanx1]

This week's video. As always; great and informative! 🙂

[@MarkoVukovic0]

Coming along nicely, Mr. Jeff! I always love seeing the new tool additions. When do you find time to eat, sleep and go to your day job!? Hope there's some time for date nights with Mrs. Jeff too 🤣

That piece for the floor is incredible!the beadings lining up👌

Well that was surreal. I thought if i was lucky i might see you wearing the socks in a later episode haha. Glad you liked them 😁

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

haha. thanks mate :D

[@nickframe6743]

Thoroughly impressive panel forming in my eyes - this makes for a great watch. 🫡

[@DestroyerWill]

Jeff you’re awesome

[@chrisettenberger3190]

You do awesome work. Thank you for the videos!

[@daveprice9090]

No matter what the cab throws up. Your glass remains half full and your enthusiasm carries you through. It's great to see it all coming together. Still in hospital and enjoying your posts Dave

[@mikemedic450]

Getting into the realms of using an English wheel. Put some pre-curve into your flat steel panel so when you bead roll you end up with a flat (ish) panel

[@georgebettiol8338]

Agree. I recently learnt the technique courtesy of Fitzee's YT channel.

[@grumpysgarage4387]

Really enjoying your videos. Great details not boring at all. The kind of videos I share with club members Cheers Dave

[@MrJedrekh]

If I remember correctly, Eastwood made a movie and there is a trick to first stretch the metal on the English wheel and then do the rest on bead roller.

[@AlexanderLarkin]

Great, Jeff!

[@albegt98]

good job Jeff 👍💪

[@user-mu1sc3fb6h]

Great work!!

[@azharsyarawi]

After a marathon of @yorkshirecarrestoration, I just can’t get enough. Thanks for being there @homebuiltbyjeff ❤

[@AlsETypeResto]

A little bit of stretching with an English wheel will help keep the panel from warping when rolling a bead. 👍

[@S-T-E-V-E]

Man you're doing a great job, I wouldn't know where to start on a job like that!

[@deankdx]

when i saw you putting the ribs in the floor(nice save with the kick stretcher) it reminded me of a recent video from Hackshop Garage titled Making Our Own FACTORY Boot Floor using ONLY basic tools - Gemini Build - Part 6. where they used an air chisel in an interesting way for a great result.

[@tonyknight1272]

I've said this before Jeff but your fabrication skills are on point my friend. Keep the video's coming. Best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧

[@TigerRogers0660]

Really loving this project Jeff. More than anything else you've done previously!!

[@johnnysmith863]

That section is quite a jigsaw puzzle. Great work as usual!

[@modelmania825]

you should stretch in the place where you are beadroling before roling ,, that way you stretch enough to roll in the shapes without distorting the panel

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

I actually tried that off camera with the planishing hammer but it didn't really work and I went back and saved the original in the end ;)

[@georgebettiol8338]

@@HomeBuiltByJeff The technique of stretching by using the English wheel before bead-rolling was demonstrated by Fitzee's YT channel - a demonstration that involved the fabrication of 'ribbed floors' for his road/track Corolla named Crusty. The man is an exceptional artisan when it comes to metal fabrication.

[@DPCTechnology]

Best restoration channel on YT, should have 5M subs,....

[@ewanstewart8011]

It’s a lot of work but it gives you a tremendous sense of accomplishment when it’s done to the standard you are achieving Jeff 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@SaqibKhaliq]

That’s a lot of work in one episode. I like the way you tackle it, one piece at a time

[@ronintres6757]

what a lot of work and it's great that even though you've removed a lot of metal you can still see the connection and put the parts you made yourself back as they were originally, really nice to look at 👍🏻🙂

[@vmoney9106]

Amazing work Jeff. I think your metal working skills have really opened up a lot of options for you in terms of projects, in that you can take on rustier projects that others wouldn’t touch.

[@1one3_Racing]

As a plate collector myself, I'm envious of how easy it is for you!

[@Tuscanvince]

Mrs Jeff is quite lovely 🤔

[@andrewdixon6078]

This part of the build is the best bit. Cut, grind, and weld! Keep it up! 👍🏻

[@user-hq9rk7gg3z]

You probably already know. But just in case use the planishing hammer to pre stretch the panel where you want to bead roll and when you put the bead in it will be flat good luck love the content thank you

[@nandi123]

Your skill and attention to detail is extremely impressive and a joy to watch. Thank you.

[@hardnard55]

Amazing craftsmanship! You’re an inspiration to others who take on these huge projects.

[@AudreyH48]

The metal work is coming along so great! I love seeing all these intricate parts and how you've gone about making them. I'm slowly building up my courage for when I tackle my 1969 Mustang.

[@timgosling6189]

Looking at how that cab is constructed with multiple metal sandwiches I don't think longevity was a priority. It's actually amazing it's lasted this well. And your fabrication work is just so good now; amazing work!

[@jeppenordfosskristensen7319]

Top job 👌🏻🇩🇰🇳🇿🏁😎

[@E.T.GARAGE]

Great Job Jeff, I can smell all that rust dust all the way here in the U.S. 👍😎👍

[@jamesdeath3477]

Imagine it's a lot less finicky working with Ford truck tank metal, than Alfa grade thin sheet.

[@JohnnyL20]

Great job Jeff

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Thanks mate :D

[@williamholmes9129]

On another channel seen panels pre stretched with an English wheel prior to then bead rolling which seems to counter the distortion

[@ceesklumper]

Glad you were able to save and use that piece, so frustrating otherwise. Looking great!

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

This stuff definitely make me scratch my head at times, but I am learning and getting better every day which is the fun stuff.

[@Datsman1971]

Mate, you can 3d print any profile rolls for your bead roller you want or need.

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

They would be far too weak for the steel sheet unfortunately, but I could pretty easily turn up some on the lathe.

[@Datsman1971]

@@HomeBuiltByJeff, ok, i use only 1mm sheat metal or thinner, so it does work for me. But lathe is much guicker than 3d printer, so yes, that is a good option. Petri

Alot of progress, looking good!

[@couttsy222]

Jeff, I've been watching HBBJ since the start of the Alferrari project and have yet to see you point over your correct (left) shoulder when you say "I'll put a link above". 🤣😂🤣😂 That's about the only thing I can pick on!

[@dennisbjones]

Love your work Jeff but you couldn't find some new music to play on the time-lapse parts could you? I know every (I repeat) every note that is coming up ;-)

[@craig7393]

I have see people pre strech the panel before beadrolling (planshing the section to be rolled to make it more maluble

[@b3nny90]

As someone who has never tackled this much rust, I'm curious why you cut odd shapes out and not just basic squares/rectangles etc.

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Tackling the rust and avoiding the more difficult shapes to make ;)

[@danandyong6653]

We call it "buck forming" in America instead of hammer forming

[@linovieira5260]

That cabin is too far gone but good for videos

[@Nikoshasib]

Jeff, I know car manufacturers have been doing primer dips to unibody shells since the 80s. Does anyone in Australia have a big dip tank for you to possibly get the cab dunked so that all these layer joints and pockets throughout can get some primer on them to hopefully prevent this in the future?

[@georgebettiol8338]

When Ford built that truck they left many parts of vehicle unprotected - i.e. used zero paint, and it lasted a long time and most likely suffered the most degradation when it was abondoned out in the elements with a damaged roof. The restoration undertaken by Jeff will ensure that all parts of the body will be painted as per your typical current day vehicle restorer. In the Australian climate, whilst assuming the vehicle is not abondonned out doors, it will outlast Jeff.

[@88Frank]

Its amazong because when you start i think there is no way you can save that and then step by step you bosh it out

[@jimilesaint]

Maybe doing the rough side woulda made your life a bit easier since you’d have the better side to use as a ‘template’?

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Actually both sides are bad in different areas, but you are right in principal.

[@oiygfdxssfgg]

Great work as usual Jeff. What has happened with the Alfa, did it pass inspection.

[@JeffHeck-sp2xd]

Do you find grinding better than sand or glass blasting?

I could but it is not the look I am going for ;)

​​@@HomeBuiltByJeff4 inches then 😂

G'day Mr Jeff, A great video covering metal forming. Just looking at something, you don't realise how much can be involved in repulcating something. Your spot on in showing how to pick something apart rather than just cut it out. Q. I like that shrinker machine. Have you got a link to it, please? So, thanks for sharing ✌️ Peace from Melbourne/Pakenham.
